173 Prewett (reluctantly added)

Seeing Karan leaving him alone and thinking about something alone, Snape felt a little wary for no reason.

He always felt that Karan was harboring some bad ideas.

If Karan is allowed to continue thinking, maybe the next time he and Lily face them will not be Acromantulas, but groups of Death Eaters.

Moreover, these people have magic wands in their hands, and they will not be defeated by a simple decoction of living hell.

"Are you thinking about joining the Death Eaters?"

Snape deliberately changed the subject and stared directly at Karan.

But before Karan could say anything, he was the first to be stunned.

"Even though you are a Muggle-born,"

He murmured, his eyes gradually becoming a little weird: "But if you are such a gifted wizard, the mysterious man might really agree to your request."

"Hey!"

The book Snape was using for reference flew up inexplicably, hitting him hard on the head and knocking him backwards.

"Are you kidding me?"

Karan said angrily: "Even if you become a Death Eater, I won't."

Snape rubbed his forehead and said sarcastically: "Say it as if you would tell your true thoughts."

Karan rolled his eyes at him, not bothering to spend more time explaining.

He put down the newspaper in his hand, walked to the center of the store, and looked back and forth at the various styles of high cloth stones.

They are all neatly arranged on the shelves, and they have obviously been carefully cared for.But in comparison, the number of customers in the store was never large.

"Why not get some other toys to sell, or expand the size of the store?"

Karan suddenly asked: "I remember that the money should not be so small. At most, it can only be used for a fraction."

Snape was silent for a while.

"Mom said that was enough for her."

Snape lowered his head, staring intently at the parchment on which many words had been written, but the pen in his hand did not move.

"She's going to leave more of her gold to me."

"Save it for when I'm in school and after I graduate."

Karan shrugged and said nothing more.

The swishing sound of writing sounded again, but after a while, the sound suddenly stopped again.

"I seem...I've never said thank you to you."

he whispered.

Although Snape accepted the money, he never felt that he deserved it. He just helped prepare some potions.

In fact, when he and Lily were preparing the polyjuice potion alone, Lily also vaguely revealed this idea to him.

They were just a little help.

The only person who really did all this was Karan himself.

"Thanks."

He said in an inaudible voice, so low that it seemed as if he only spit out two indistinct scales, and even he himself did not hear them clearly.

But after waiting awkwardly for a while, Snape didn't get any response.

He raised his head in confusion and found that Karan was still standing in the middle of the shop and had not left.

But he didn't speak. Instead, he frowned, looking quite distressed.

"you say......"

Karan said slowly, his tone inexplicably becoming more solemn, and Snape couldn't help but become nervous.

“Will we still receive scholarship funds this year?”

"what?"

Snape was so stunned that he didn't even notice the ink that accidentally dripped.

"Oops."

After a while, Snape gradually came back to his senses. He looked at the parchment with a headache. The embarrassment in his heart had long since disappeared, and it all turned into the depression of having to copy it all over again.

"Do you still care about this kind of thing?"

he asked with a suspicious look.

"Why don't you care?" Karan said matter-of-factly: "Although the money is not much, it is still quite a lot. At least it will allow me to taste every snack in Honeydukes."

"And more than once."

Snape blinked, and he suddenly felt that what Karan said made sense.

If he could still get the scholarship fund, at least he wouldn't have to worry about the broomstick care kit anymore.

"But will the school continue to give out this money?" Snape looked around and said hesitantly: "We don't look like we need this money anymore."

"I am not sure as well."

Karan shook his head and said: "Perhaps it will be sent together with the letter from Hogwarts? It should be that time at the latest."

The two looked at each other silently.

At this moment, there was a burst of conversation from outside the store.

"Gobstone Club Store? This should be the right place."

"It's so cool that there is actually a store that sells Gobstone. It reminds me of my childhood."

"Are you referring to the time when you will always lose to me?"

"Are you kidding me? I don't remember you ever having the Oblivion Curse cast on you?"

Two people who looked exactly the same walked in. They were both wearing loose robes and had dazzling red hair on their heads. It was impossible to tell the difference between them.

However, Karan still noticed that there was a watch on the wrist of one of them. It was made of gold. There were no hands on the dial, only a few stars running.

It still looks brand new today.

If Callan guessed correctly, this was Mrs. Weasley's coming-of-age gift to little Harry later.

The owner of this watch is Fabian Prewett, the younger brother of the two brothers, and next to him is his brother Gideon Prewett.

Both of them are Molly's older brothers and first-generation members of the Order of the Phoenix.

After heroic and tenacious resistance, the two died in an attack by five Death Eaters in 1981.

Among these Death Eaters was the ferocious Antonin Dolokhov.

Now, his brother Fabian, who was standing in front of Karan, spoke.

He looked left and right at Callan and Snape, and said happily: "It seems we are lucky, these two children are here."

Brother Gideon shrugged his shoulders: "That's not as good as theirs. After all, we are just here to give money."

He took out two heavy cloth bags from his pocket and placed them in front of the two confused people.

"Here are your grants for this year. They're all here."

"Is this really for us?" Snape asked with wide eyes. He didn't expect that it would come so easily.

"What?" Gideon was looking curiously at a set of Gobstones on the shelf.

"Ah, yes, that's right." He nodded and said, "You don't think you won't be able to receive the money after you move, do you? Don't worry, Dumbledore is smart."

"Uh..." Snape was stunned. It was obvious that this was not what he meant.

"By the way, how much does this set of Gobstones cost?"

Gideon asked, raising the Gobstone Game in his hand.

"Ten Sickles."

Snape introduced honestly: "This set of chess pieces is quite special. It will make a scream after being ejected."

Fabian looked over: "You really don't want to compete with me here, do you? Don't forget that we have to go to Kettleburn later, don't delay the business."

"I just want to give Molly a gift." Gideon said: "Isn't she already pregnant with her second child? She must let her children have toys that they can play with together."

"Then why don't you give me a toy broom?" Fabian asked, his eyes slowly turning to a corner of the shop.

"Or just give him a real broomstick."

He immediately noticed the brand new Nimbus 1001 and looked at it with affection.

"Perfectly streamlined..."

He couldn't help but admire it, but he didn't touch it casually.

Fabian then turned to look at Snape and asked in surprise: "Is this your broomstick?"

"Uh..." Snape blinked. He looked at the bag containing the scholarship on the table and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about, kid." Gideon obviously noticed Snape's strange behavior. He smiled and said, "Things often change. Fortunately, the changes in you look pretty good. .”

"The premise is that we will not tell this matter." Fabian added: "If you can let me appreciate this broom."

Snape was confused by the two of them, but he still nodded subconsciously and said, "Oh, of course it's no problem."

"Great!" Fabian happily inspected the Nimbus 1001. He turned back to Gideon and said, "Perhaps I have already thought about what you should give me for Christmas this year?"

"certainly."

Gideon gave him no chance to continue.

"In fact, I can send it to you right now."

As he paid the money, he motioned Gideon to look at his hand.

That was holding the second set of brand new gobstones.

While paying, Gideon noticed Karan who remained silent.

"You don't act like what Dorcas said you would." He said curiously, his eyes full of interest.

"You mean Professor Meadows?"

Karan finally broke the silence and asked, "What did she say about me?"

"naughty."

"Condescending."

"
